Hello all! I’m
Heather Thoming a wife, mom, photographer, foodie, crafter, DIY’r, geeky bookworm, lover of digital design, color, instagram, and all things social. I was born and raised in Colorado, but I currently live in Las Vegas with my sweet husband, three fabulous girls and one red-headed little guy! I am the creator of WhipperBerry a fun blog where I share simple, yet stunning crafts, gift ideas, recipes, party ideas and home DIY. I also pepper in a little geekery with tutorials on how I use Instagram and other fun iPhone apps. My work has been featured Woman’s Day Magazine, Cooking Magazine and will soon be featured on HGTV. I am self taught in almost everything I do. I’m rather tenacious when it comes to mastering new skills. I love a good challenge and that is how WhipperBerry came to be. I wanted to learn how to be a good photographer and designer and it kind of took off from there. I have a passion for my loving, good design, fantastic parties, adventurous travel and stunning photography.

Hi there! My name is Jamie Pate. I am wife of one, mother of five, daughter of two, sister to one, and friends with many. I love the paper crafts world and have been involved deeply since 1997. To me, telling a story starts with a photo. I consider myself a life artist that tells her story by way of scrapbook layout, mini book, art journal, or even a card to inspire a friend, just to name a few. I don’t try to stay caught up. I just try to tell them when they happen so I don’t forget when they have passed. Digital and hybrid art is just one of many ways to tell those stories, and it brings me lots of joy to be part of this wonderful community. Jing Van Opstal , once a dedicated hotelier then became a professional
“Hausfrau” 13 years ago when she married her German husband who has been giving her constant encouragement on her creative pursuits. She has been fortunate to live in and visit many countries throughout the world due to her husband’s occupation and thus, experienced several cultural adventures which inspire her to create and combine amazing colors, designs and even scents.
Her attention to details makes her unique and whatever she ventures out to do, she will try to make it special… aside from artistic work, she loves to entertain at home and that’s where her dining table is always full of themed, home-made accents. Well, she loves something different from the usual. Her artistic style? … “I love to discover and try different things – so my style is totally a mystery … I love being mysterious.”
My name is
Kirsty Wiseman, wife to Mark and Momma to Ellie and our handsome pooch, Eddy. I am foremost a Mum and secondly I am serious finger twitcher. I cure this ail by constantly tip tapping on my mac or my iPhone or my camera or my wacom. My fingers rise to the challenge of boredom by creating or searching for beautiful things that make me feel super inspired to craft. I love the feeling of accomplishment of crafting; of being able to sustain my thirst for creating and giving. Photographising, scrapbooking, card making and blogging features heavily in my free time and magically they come together to tell stories, create art, fuel inspiration and most of all - make me happy. Life is wonderful, life is art.

Melissa Mortenson likes to make stuff.. plain and simple. Whether I'm sewing or scrapbooking or decorating it doesn't matter I love it all! A few years ago I started a blog called The Polkadot Chair to share my creative endeavors with others. I've had a fantastic time growing my blog and branching out into new areas. I've got a line of sewing patterns and am excited to have been published this year in the book Fresh Fabric Treats! I've been scrapbooking since my oldest was born 16 years ago and have enjoyed so much watching the scrapbooking industry grow in those years! I grew up in Salt Lake City but now am happy to call Kentucky home! I live in Louisville, Kentucky with my husband, 16 year old daughter and 10 year old boy/girl twins! Oh yeah, we've got a big furry dog that lives here too! facebookinstagram: @mmorten

Hi my name is
Nancy Wyatt and I live just outside of Houston, Texas with my husband Andy. I love playing in my studio, it's the perfect way to blow off steam after a long day at the office! I have always been a girly girl and I love to create with paper and mixed medias.

I am so excited and honored to have been asked to join this team and look forward to getting to know more of you via this awesome hobby!
